Goodbye to an old friend

[ArtW]

Jeanne, my ex,  passed away last night. She's been in a nursing home for a while after a fall and a bout with Pneumonia, and while she seemed fine Tuesday, aside form no appetite, she suddenly just, died
Tad, her new husband, is of the opinion she just gave up, after the care plan meeting Wednesday morning hae says was just bullshit, and he might be right, as she was not down with being there, but I suspect her heart finally failed after all the years of morbid obesity and lack of activity
I am honestly surprised how much this hurts, . Goodbye, Jeanne, you were a good person, even if you never quite grew up

Art, I am sorry for your loss.

That's rough, may she find peace. Tough to lose anyone you care for, it hurts me just to think of these things. Be blessed and I wish you the best in this time.

My condolences. Just because they are not a current part of your life doesn't mean they don't hold a place in your heart. I lost a ex to brain cancer last month and was surprised how it hit me after 33 years.

Sorry for your loss Art. It's always hard losing anyone that is or was part of your life. I hope you can find comfort that she's found her peace and is no longer in any pain.

Art and you too Jim. I'm sorry to hear of your losses. 

 It is hard to lose folk that we've loved. 

  My former spouse passed away 14yrs after we broke up.  That was when I learned about the steps of the grief process and that anger at the death can be part of that process & is normal.   I was very angry at his death as even after 14ys we had unfinished business.   So if you feel anger about someone's death for any reason it's ok.  I'm passing this info along because I thought it was wrong to feel so angry and sought out help about grief and how it can affect us.

Thank you for that, jewelann, no anger on my part, we'd done the anger thing to death, and Jim, my condolences to you also, I somehow missed your post while reading the others

I always said, if anything happened to Jeanne, I would take Buddy, but i just couldn't do it
"sorry your wife died, by the way I'm taking take the dog"
Nope, couldn't do that to Tad
We will share him,
It'd be different if we weren't friends, maybe, besides, who locks a dog in a travel trailer for 10 hours a day while they go to work? wouldn't be fair to Buddy
